Milos Poseidon

  Today we went for a private tour with Poseidon to and around Polyegos close to Milos island and had a wonderful day. The island and its beaches are fantastic, the... read more geology and the resulting color shades are really thrilling. The freshly caught fried fish meal we had on board was excellent - and perhaps most important: Andreas, the owner, fisher and skipper is an extremely friendly, humerous and warm hearted man. If you go for a trip, go with hIm.

  This was simply excellent in every way. Small intimate group of people on the boat, totally low key atmosphere and effortless to organize.
The tour takes you to see... read more some of the most beautiful rock formations and colours, pristine turquoise waters and secluded beaches. There are so many opportunities to swim, snorkel and explore with no rush or hurry. The landscape and sea is astonishing.

Andreas is a delightful and charming captain! His dog Ire is an absolute gem and so lovable. Plenty of delicious snacks and drinks provided throughout the day. Freshly caught fish from the net is prepared for the lunch we share, and it's divine. The group atmosphere is real pleasure.

I never expected to have such an unforgettable experience. Thank you, thank you, Andreas !

  Chartered “Poseidon” as a family with our skipper, captain Andreas!
Sailed from picturesque “Pollonia” in the morning, we spent the day touring the southern part of Milos, visiting spectacular... read more beaches, most known the magical one, called “Kleftiko”!!
Captain Andreas was a great companion and host making continuously sure that we have everything, from a tasty breakfast to a gourmet-style “fruit de mer” lunch (fresh shrimps, pasta dishes), cooled white wine, etc!!
A relaxing and enjoyable day, the best way to explore Milos and see beaches that you can’t reach from land!!!
Highly recommended!!

  The trip with with the boat was awesome. We made the tour around Polyaigos and visited the best parts of the island. The waters were so clear, i could see... read more the bottom. We swam with the fish and saw sea turtles. We saw caves and beaches i have never seen on another island.
The captain, Andreas was kind, funny and a great cook. He served us traditional delicacies and the best fish soup I have ever eaten. The meal was served onboard in a breath tanking cove at the southern part of Polyaigos. The whole experience was amazing. I will definitely take the tour again.

  Thanks a lot Andreas! The boat tour was superbe and your good mood so nice!

We were looking for a little bit more "intimate" tour than the big ones... read more offered on Milos and found this. We organised it very last minute (whatsapp to Andreas the night before). In the morning we met Andreas and his fishing boat, together with only 3 other couples. So a total of 9 very friendly persons for this nice tour.

Andreas showed us the coast, provided us with succulent local food at every stops (nice breakfast, shrimp spaghetti at lunch, watermelons, etc...).

Because we were only 8 people, we could enjoy each stop as much as we wanted.

We really had a fun and pleasant time with the whole group.

  We did a tour of Poluaigos with Poseidon and it was an amazing experience. Beautiful beaches, stunning views, crystal clear waters. The captain, Andreas, is very polite and loves what... read more he does. He cooked for us a delicious meal: shrimp linguine with local shrimps and s salad with vegetables from his very own garden. Last but not least, all this comes at a very low price! We could not thank Andreas more for this amazing day!

  This was a fantastic day on a fishing boat, led by a great captain Andreas, who was capable and friendly.
First we watched as they pulled in the net, filled... read more with (delicious) fish we would later eat. Other very tasty Greek snacks were also provided.
Followed by a tour of multiple islands, including the most amazing deserted beach.
We are very happy we chose to go out with Poseideon! We highly recommend.

  What a wonderful experience with Captain Andreas on his fishing boat! Our host recommended him vs the crowded tours, and how right he was! Just the 5 of us on... read more a private tour of the Island of Polyaigos. Having visited Kleftiko as well (on another trip) I highly recommend Captain Andreas & Polyaigos. It was more dramatic than Kleftiko, so if you have to choose between the two go with Captain Andreas. We stopped at several lovely places to swim, Andreas served little bites, pies, then prepared a simple but fantastic lunch of king size shrimp & pasta. His Mother's watermelon pie for dessert was also out of this world. Thank you for taking care of us! Go with Andreas for an unforgettable and authentic day on blue waters, which I haven't seen anywhere!

  In Milos there are places you can visit only by sea. One example is Kleftiko, one of the 10 best beaches in Europe according to Conde Nast Traveller and Tripadvisor;... read more some say it’s among the best beaches in the world. While choosing a boat tour in Milos you’re faced with 3 main options: 1) sailing boat (catamaran or monohull) which -despite the name- will take you there on engine (not sails), cost around 50-70€ per passenger, total of 20 onboard, 2) a super fast and sleek RIB, cost of 1200-1400€ per 8 hour ride of up to 8-10 persons, and 3) Poseidon, a traditional fishing boat, for a total cost of 400€ for the same 8 hour tour, capacity up to 8 persons. Choice #1 you need to account for another 15-20 strangers on the boat, not quite the beat choice for the covid-conscious. A party of 8, two 4-member families, we opted for option 3 mainly due to the tranquility/privacy it’d offer (just the 8 of us), pricing and availability. On the day before departing Captain offered us choice of lunch, either kakavia (fish soup) from freshly-netted fish (we would have casted the nets ourselves in the morning) or home-made shrimp pasta, we opted for the second. We didn’t regret the choice of the specific tour one bit. Captain Andreas took us on a relaxed low-pace trip from Pollonia all the way south and we toured the whole south cost of Milos. We made three stops for swimming, 1st was a translucent white-pebble beach close to the old sulfur mines, after which we were treated to ladenias (local oil bruschetta-like dish with cheese onion and peppers), 2nd was unexpectedly stunning Gerontas (black thin glittering sand beach with a natural arch on one side, castaway stuff) and ultimately Kleftiko, where we anchored , swam in the caves and enjoyed lunch with a magnificent shrimp pasta dish prepared by our captain on-the-spot. All drinks and wine on the house. On our way back we took a last dive just before arriving to Pollonia. We had an unforgettable time and we were treated with great hospitality and friendliness. We would recommend Poseidon, Andreas and the tour without any objection. …

  Last day at Milos...We had go to the most beaches in the island the previous days and we were surprised by the beauty of the island and got the greatest... read more moments. But we were wrong.Capten Andreas had others plans for us.We had arrange with him a trip over Polyaigo,an island near Milos. Was one of the best experience in our lives.I have a lot to say but these things that made all this unique was the incredible sea with turquoise water,the delicious spaghetti with shrimps inside the vessel cooked by Capten,the wild beautiness of the caves and rocks and of course Capten Andreas with his authentic smile who love this so it cant be less than perfect! Try this and you wont lose for sure! …

  Our day with Captain Andreas was simply amazing. Our family of five enjoyed nine hours with Captain Andreas during which time we explored the eastern and southern coasts of... read more Milos. We worried nine hours would be too long but it wasn't! The kids really enjoyed bringing in the fishing nets and seeing all the fish, including eel, crabs, and more. We then stopped at numerous beaches on our way to/from Kleftiko. At each stop, we jumped into the gorgeous water and enjoyed snorkeling, swimming, and exploring the beaches. It was so much fun. Captain Andreas is so kind and took great care of us with snacks at most of the stops and all the drinks we wanted. A highlight was the terrific meal of fish soup, fresh fish that we caught that day, salad, and more while anchored at Kleftiko beach. The day was magical and one we will not soon forget!

  Having spent most of our time exploring the island via ATV (quad) and scooter we decided to set sail with Captain Andreas and Pedros (who were great!).

The... read more boat is small and there were only 7 of us on board (inc. crew) but it made the trip far more interesting than if you were on a boat of 40+.

We visited 4 secluded parts of the island (that you can only access via boat) which were beautiful and, because of the pebbles/small rock beaches/coves, the water is so clean and transparent.

True to their word food was served up and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks were provided (Andreas makes a mean spaghetti and shrimp pasta!).

Thanks for the trip boys!! Here’s a few photos ;)

  It was an amazing tour! Mr Andreas is a great captain! We feel like we are still there, swimming in these crystal waters. The best moment was lunch!!! Captain... read more Andreas was the chief fisherman and we tried to help him to catch fish and then we had a perfect meal with absolutely fresh fish. Almost forgot to mention the traditional treats we enjoyed, like ladenia and watermelon pie (DELICIOUS). Can't wait to visit Milos next year and of course our friend Mr Andreas!

  My wife and I travel many Greek Islands and always take boat tours. This by far was the best we ever did. This is for a several reasons. 1) It's... read more a small boat so only a few other tourists will be with you on the boat, no party boat chaos. 2) The crew were happy, helpful and made us feel very welcome. 3) The route the boat takes is excellent, and many stops for swimming. 4) The atmosphere was never rushed. 5) The experience of seeing fisherman at work, and being able to participate in the experience was fantastic. 6) Actually eating the fish that you catch that day. 7) The price - very reasonable considering everything is provided and the meal is excellent.

Some tips - 1) During the summer the winds can make the sea a little rough. My advice is call Andreas to discuss when the boat will go to Polyegos because this is the tour you must do to have the best experience from Pollonia. 2) As the boat is a fishing boat there is not much storage, so pack lightly for the trip, take just the basics (a towel and sun lotion is basically all you need). 3) Again it's a working fishing boat, so I do not recommend very young children for this trip. Ages 10 or over would be fine.

Many thanks to Andreas, Andreas and Marios. It was brilliant. If you remember my wife was the opera singer who sang while she was putting the nets in the water :)
